Los Angeles duo Social Gravy are something special indeed, and the EP A Different Kind proves that, and shows why Brad Kohn and Vee Bordukov have deserved their reputation as romantic rockin-rollers with content. The four songs of this release portray their capability to walk the line between commercial and artistic integrity and making music that felt simultaneously accessible and […]

Melbourne trio Remit has produced something truly unnerving with their debut album Questions Unanswered and I mean that in the best way possible. This is not music that tries to soothe, it is art that wants you to face the uneasy truths of our divided world. The album was Written in their now-legendary underground concrete bunker and it is the […]

The new single, Circles, is a strong exploration of the turbulent waters of the unhealthy relationship that demonstrates the further development of the UK artist. With the foundations of his midlands background and several years of genre exploration, Solum has created something truly powerful here, a track that is at once intensely personal and yet relatable to all. The bedroom […]

It is something particularly special to see a group grow in front of your eyes and John Lebanon’s “Mizuri” is a song that feels like you have made it just in time to see a band at its very peak. This Boston indie band has made something that walks that line of fragile-yet-truthful introspection with something real and heartfelt, which […]

At times the best music occurs when artists take everything away and leave their most fragile selves, and Love Ghost does just that in their song, Car Crash. This piano ballad sees Finnegan Bell moving a long way out of his usual style of eclecticism to create something that is heartbreakingly intimate and painfully effective. The shaking voice instantly pulls […]

There is something intensely touching about a music that has the audacity to act as both a personal confession as well as a universal experience and New Laconia manages to get that balance so right with their song Journey to the past. It is an experimental project by Ukrainians who create an impression that they have stumbled upon a memory […]

There is a certain disarming quality about total honesty in music and ESTRADA Music Projects I love when you see through my eyes has none of the pretense in it. It is not a song meant to impress with clever wordplay or a complex arrangement–it is a man speaking to his wife, and somehow that kind of simplicity makes it […]

I was not ready how emotionally heavy of a song that Cowards and Shadows would be. There is something about how Fiona Amaka takes you through the specific pangs of being ghosted that made me stop everything I was doing and just listen. Being there, we have all been there, haven’t we? The waiting, the wondering, the hoping, the being […]

There is something intoxicating about a song that captures exactly that feeling of being pulled back to something you know is bad for you and Haus of Sound does that with stunning accuracy in their song, Madness. The Seattle group has come up with their most compelling song to date, a mixture of nostalgic 80s synth-rock with a highly modern […]

The Ophelia Moon project of Darren O. Moon is heading into some very unsettling territory with the track Color Me Dead, and there is an eerie beauty about the whole thing that functions like watching something both beautiful and horrible happen. This is not music that is out to soothe, but art that will force you to look into the […]

Silvertruth by Wolfgang turns out to be an enchanting adventure into the grey zones in which the truth is distorted and the reality becomes blurred. It is an intimate and expansive piece, something that seems to stick in your head long after the last note has played, a track created by this Norwegian artist. Even in the first few seconds […]

There is something mesmerizing about an artist that does not conform to labels and Exzenya is no stranger to this non-conformist approach to her music with her new single, Scansion. At 55, this genre-fluid storyteller demonstrates that artistic authenticity cuts across age and produces a track that hums with technical proficiency and raw emotive power. Even the title of the […]

There are songs that strike you when you hear them; there are songs that crawl into your head like slow poison. People Eat People by Garry Pitcairn is squarely in the latter camp–a vicious, simmering anthem that sounds like a message sent by the doomsday, and it is hauntingly beautiful. The product of the bleak solitude of an island in […]

The latest single of Tom Minor has something heartwrenchingly familiar about it that slaps you in the chest. The Loneliest Person on Earth sums up that particular type of heartbreak we are all familiar with- when the person you love most of all becomes a mirror of your own loneliness that is turned back on you. Here the London singer-songwriter […]

There are times when you hear a song that is less of entertainment and more of a casual chat with a wise friend and Ulrich Jannert’s “Inner COMPASS” is one of such meaningful music experiences. This Scandinavia-based artist of German origin has created something that does not fall within the confines of a standard Soul rock song, and instead produces […]

It is so poignant when the music is willing to address the greatest questions in life and the Colours of Time by Shyfrin Alliance is no exception as it does it with such elegance and refinement. With Eduard Shyfrin, whose life story as a classically trained pianist, award winning mathematician, and masterful musician is a tale of modern renaissance, this […]
